So it is not surprising that within a few years of the publication of that essay and anthology, the revolution that Wolfe had evoked with such delight had ground to a halt. In its place would come the very sort of ossification and hewing to convention ("What, no anecdotal lede?") that Wolfe and his cadre had worked so hard to crack. More and more, journalists would trade in the most expedient forms: stylistic flourishes and one-liners and the witty turn of phrase that is the last redoubt of the fellow who, as Faulkner once said, can write but has nothing to say.
The revolution built upon reporting in service of achieving the feel of fiction was never about the writing, at least not for its own sake. But who cared? So many young journalists, myself included, did not necessarily think of ourselves as reporters.
But Wolfe did. And so did Cornelius Ryan.
I will confess to a romantic attachment to The Longest Day that has nothing to do with journalism. It was the first "grown-up" book I read. I was not a reader, but I had seen the movie and watched Combat! on TV and, in my pre-Vietnam growing up, was a sucker for war stories. Having dipped in and out of the Landmark young-adult books on great battles and heroes, I was ready for something more. My father, hoping to find a book that might catch me up, handed me The Longest Day. It worked; I read. At least, I read that one.
He did it again, for sentimental reasons, in 1978, giving me a new copy after I had moved to Chicago for a newspaper job. I do not recall rereading the book. I was too much in the throes of Wolfe and company and, given where my aspirations lay, did not see how The Longest Day and its author could be of much use.
It would take a long time and a good many stories before I began to fall in love with reporting. The realization came as I began to understand that while my writing would after a time improve only incrementally, reporting was a craft that could, if done ambitiously, remain beyond perfecting. The lonely and maddening business of writing could be fueled not by what dexterity with words I could summon but by all the many things I had to find out. I fell in love with reporting only after I was old enough to appreciate that, journalistically speaking, it could keep me young.
Which is what led me back to The Longest Day. I had not opened the book in many years. And yet the story, or rather the many small stories that filled the narrative, had stayed with me. I had seen the movie from time to time over the years. It is a remarkably faithful adaptation—Ryan had worked on the screenplay. But was it the film or my early memories of the book that drew me back? Or was it something else entirely: my growing realization that the qualities that made the book endure—the precise details, the way each of Ryan's many set pieces unfolded so quickly, even as the sentences were packed with multiple facts—could come only through an approach to reporting that I had long considered secondary to the words themselves?
I opened the book on the eve of a long weekend. I was hooked after a single page. Something was taking place in the telling of this story that transcended the journalistic equivalent of mere looks—a richness, a depth. A little like love, not as it happens for teenagers, but for adults.
Ryan opens his story in the coastal village of La Roche-Guyon. He lingers there for only two pages, long enough to establish the date (June 4), the weather (gray, misty), and the sounds of dawn (a church bell ending the nighttime curfew and heralding day 1,451 of the German occupation) before introducing his most compelling character, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. When we meet him, the German commander—and D-Day's biggest loser—is awaiting the invasion in the village's castle. It is a neatly accomplished piece of foreshadowing; Ryan sprinkles in his facts without gumming up the machinery, and delivers an implicit promise to the reader. You want details? You want characters? I've got a million of 'em.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google eked out slightly higher earnings in the fourth quarter, despite a financial drag caused by the Internet search leader's expansion into device manufacturing and a decline in digital ad prices as more people gaze into the smaller screens of smartphones.
The results announced Tuesday pleased investors, helping to lift Google's stock by 5 percent in extended trading.
More advertising poured into Google during the holiday shopping season, fueling a moneymaking machine that has steadily churned out higher profits since the company went public in 2004. Google's fourth-quarter ad revenue totaled $12.1 billion, a 19 percent increase from the previous year.
Some of that money, though, has been shifting away from personal computers as advertisers try to connect with an expanding audience that relies on smartphones and tablet computers to reach Google's search engine, email and other online services. By some estimates, about one-fourth of the clicks on Google's search ads are now coming from mobile devices.
So far, advertisers have been unwilling to pay as much money to market their wares on mobile devices, largely because the smaller screens leave less room for commercial links and other marketing messages. The trend is one of the reasons that the average price for the ads that Google shows next to its search results has fallen from the previous year in five consecutive quarters, including the final three months of last year.
In a positive sign, though, Google's average ad prices in the most recent quarter dropped by just 6 percent from the same period in 2011. That's the smallest decline during the pricing downturn, raising hopes that Google may be starting to solve the pricing problems posed by the growing usage of mobile devices.
In a conference call Tuesday, Google CEO Larry Page predicted ad prices will gradually rise as the devices become even more sophisticated to unleash new ways to reach potential customers at the times they are most likely to buy something.
"In today's multi-screen world, the opportunities are endless," Page said.
Google earned nearly $2.9 billion, or $8.62 per share, during the fourth quarter. That compared to net income of $2.7 billion, or $8.22 per share, at the same time last year.
If not for the costs of employee stock compensation and certain other accounting items, Google said it would have earned $10.65 per share. On that basis, Google exceeded the average earnings estimate of $10.54 among analysts surveyed by FactSet.
It proved to be a difficult quarter to decipher because of an accounting quirk and the additions of new business lines that muddied the comparisons with the previous year.
For instance, Google Inc. didn't own Motorola Mobility in 2011, having completed its $12.4 billion acquisition of the troubled handset maker eight months ago. What's more, the Google is bringing in more revenue from tablet computers, which it began selling under the Nexus brand during the final half of last year.

Recording the quotidian details of my day seems to add hours a day to my life: I'm not sure why. Another trick is to focus on some ordinary thing–the faintly geological strata of the insides of a burrito, for instance–and try to describe what I see. Another: pick a task I'd normally do quickly and thoughtlessly–writing words for the side of a cup, say– and do it as slowly as possible. Forcing my life into slow-motion, I notice a lot that I miss at game speed. The one thing I don't notice is the passage of time. [BI]

Recession's Toll Still Felt on 401(k) Savings
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Citing the "squeeze of the economic downturn," three out of four 401(k) participants are likely not on track to meet retirement goals based on their current 401(k) balance, plan contributions and projected Social Security payments, a report released today by investor adviser Financial Engines (FNGN - Get Report) says.
Of those 72% plan participants who are off-track, Financial Engines projects that the typical participant will be able to replace only 45% of their preretirement income, compared with a 70% goal. On a positive note, the report showed that participants in plans with automatic enrollment and Qualified Default Investment Alternatives are better off than those without.
The 2010 Financial Engines National 401(k) Evaluation analyzed the portfolios of more than 2.8 million 401(k) participants from 272 employer plans. The report estimates the amount of income each participant can expect in retirement from their current 401(k) savings and investments, evaluating each portfolio on the basis of risk and diversification, company stock and participant contributions. Not included in the research was the impact of defined benefit income sources, previous 401(k) balances, IRAs or Roth IRAs.
"This study is a wake-up call showing that employees continue to make retirement mistakes, which have been compounded by the financial crisis," Jeff Maggioncalda, president and CEO of Financial Engines, said in a statement.
The report also found that the economic downturn has hurt participant savings rates, with 39% not saving enough to get the full employer match, up from 33% in 2008. Of participants under age 40, 47% failed to save enough to get the full employer match. Participants earning between $25,000 and $75,000 per year had average lower 401(k) savings rates this year than two years ago (6% this year compared with 7% in 2008), "reflecting the serious impact of the economic crisis on middle-class working Americans," the report says. According to the report, while automatic enrollment is helpful in getting participants into the plan, automatic savings escalation (increasing participants' savings rates each year to an upper limit) is "key to getting them saving enough for retirement." Sixty-seven percent of participants in plans with automatic escalation save enough to get the full employer match, compared with just 52% of participants in plans without automatic escalation. With the U.S. Department of Labor finalizing QDIA regulations in October 2007, the policy is starting to help newer participants. Younger participants with lower salaries and lower account balances are benefiting the most, as they are more likely automatically enrolled into an age-appropriate default option, often Target Date Funds, approved as such an option. Financial Engines makes a case that 52% of participants under age 30 in plans with a QDIA have the appropriate risk and diversification for their age, compared with just 12% in plans lacking one. In addition, 50% of participants earning less than $25,000 per year in plans with a QDIA have age-appropriate risk and diversification, compared with just 24% in plans without a QDIA. -- Written by Joe Mont in Boston.>To contact the writer of this article, click here: Joe Mont. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/josephmont. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Interesting exercise; but flawed in the answers regarding forms of government. Even in 1912 we were a republic here in the U.S. I believe the best and to my knowledge only true democracy was ancient Greece. And in 1912 there were a myriad of absolute Monarchies to choose from so expecting Russia to be the answer is only pandering to our probably more complete knowledge of the revolution that had already begun(but was largely unknown by the common U.S. resident at the time) in Russia. To suggest that France of 1912 was a republic is sophistry as it is now evident that their ruling class had only been supplanted by newcomers instead of the true abolishment the French Revolution was supposed to have brought to pass.

A very fact-based test, but lacks in critical thinking skills. With the amount of information that exists today, a trite fact-based test is no longer as important as the ability to acquire factual information and utilize those facts effectively to solve problems or provide critical analysis.

Question 7 has some errors:
Whole numbers are positive integers.
Negative integers are not whole numbers.
The fractions are not the only
numbers that are whole numbers. Irrational numbers are not fractions nor whole
numbers. (Simple example: the square root of 2 is neither a fraction nor a
whole number)
Both of these definitions are faulty.

I have little patience for implications that education used to be better because
it tested subjects now obsolete. Also, many of these answers are just wrong:
1. If "countess" is the feminine form of "earl," of what is
"count" the masculine form?
2. I wonder how many single women in
2014 would agree that the proper term for them is "maid" or
3. An ox is a neutered bull. A cow is not necessarily
spayed, so these are not masculine and feminine forms of the same thing.
Who says Congress can only pass laws about keeping order? What about regulating
commerce, to name just one unrelated Congressional function specifically
enumerated in the Constitution? What about conducting foreign relations? What
about the fact that primary responsibility for all of these functions resides at
the state level? How is "the executive branch" the commander-in-chief?
Only the President is the commander-in-chief, not the whole branch. And
he's c-in-c of "the U.S. branches of the armed forces"? As opposed
to what, the Canadian branches? We have five branches. Is one of them NOT a U.S.
branch? (The National Guard is also organized under those same branches, not as
a separate, non-federal branch.)

Today recycling is a key piece of any company's business plan. A comprehensive and effective recycling plan reduces waste, cuts costs and handling, and shows customers and communities that you're a good corporate citizen.
We can help you get the most benefit for everyone from your recycling program by identifying the recyclable materials in your waste stream and the labor costs associated with separation, as well as the recyclables that have potential to be revenue-generating. Then we can help you reconfigure your processes to divert recyclables simply and efficiently.
From conserving the earth's resources to saving money, recycling is smart business. We can help you do the right thing – for both the planet and your bottom line.
Overview |
Today, waste removal is about more than just hauling it away. We work with the cities and businesses we serve to make sure that all forms of waste are handled in ways that are efficient for our customers, safe for our employees, and respectful of the environment.
Our modern fleet, high standards of safety and 7-day-a-week customer service ensure that you get the services you need:

KFC probes claims
Comment on this storyJackson - Fried chicken chain KFC says a franchised restaurant has hired an investigator to look into claims an employee asked a 3-year-old girl to leave because injuries she suffered in a pit bull mauling disturbed customers.
KFC spokesman Rick Maynard says the company is concerned that the Jackson restaurant's internal investigation couldn't verify the incident.
An outside investigator will conduct an independent investigation.
Maynard says KFC's commitment of $30,000 to help with the child's medical bills won't be affected by the investigation's outcome.
Allegations that Victoria Wilcher was asked to leave the restaurant were made earlier this month on the Facebook site "Victoria's Victories," which follows the girl's recovery.
A posting Tuesday on the Facebook page denied that the claim is a hoax. - Sapa-AP

Impressions of Life as an Unpublished Writer
The Rodney Dangerfield of graduate degrees, the MFA in writing gets no respect, like what is this guy so angry about and even those with the degree have been known to disparage it. But this consensus mostly comes from literary circles in which I've come to travel.
This summer, I returned to my tennis instructor job in New Jersey, and discovered the MFA afforded me a surprising amount of professional respect from colleagues at the club, former students, and new students.
Of course, not yet being published can be tricky. On first dates, women take stock and ask if I've been published. I can't wait to say yes one day, and mention some incredibly obscure journal. At the moment, I temper my response by explaining the different levels of rejection one receives from literary magazines. (the standard reject is a generic rejection letter sent to the overwhelming majority of submitters, nice reject is given to maybe the top one percent and includes some positive words and encourages the writer to submit again, a personal reject will have actual ink from an editor) and mention that I've received a few "nice rejects" and maybe even a "personal reject" since the line can be blurry.
Earlier this week I was accepted with a partial fellowship to the Vermont Studio Center. So I'll certainly be mentioning that on future first dates.
Speaking of first dates, once I reveal I'm working on a novel, women tend to ask, "So what's it about?" After some hemming and hawing, I explain the premise: A guy in his late twenties, who grew up in an affluent white suburb, got off-track after graduating college, rebelled by joining a band and started delivering Chinese food instead of getting a career oriented job, finds his life in upheaval after his long-term girlfriend dumps him and he ends up getting drunk at a work-party and going home with a young girl who may or may not be eighteen. Not bad, right?
Turns out, everyone assumes I'm describing myself and not my main character. Yes, I'm from an affluent New Jersey suburb, yes I didn't begin a high paying career job after college. Okay, so I guess I am a bit like my main character, (except for getting dumped by a long-term girlfriend and going home with a girl who may or may not be eighteen) but I see my character/narrator as very separate. I created him basely loosly on a friend with a little bit of me thrown in, but after a month or so of writing, he became wholly distinct. The more I wonder, the more I realize I should accept he is a part of me.
A famous writer, when asked if any of her characters were her, said, "Honey they are all me." I suppose that's as true as anything and as good a time to end this post as any.

FCC Considers Deregulation of DSL
Where else the consumer will feel the pinch (414 comments)
I work for a relatively small ISP in Montana. There is only one DSL circuit provider here, Qwest. We resell their product. What we essentially sell is much better customer service to our customers. Almost all of our customers have complained about Qwest's customer service performance in one capacity or another (billing, tech support). They like calling us because we answer the phone quickly and we speak easy-to-understand English.
If Qwest strongarms us we will most certainly go out of business and our customers will have to go to Qwest or cable and their service level.

BRANT LAKE Scorching weather didn't deter people from flocking to the local community festival that's fast become a beloved tradition.
A crowd of hundreds attended Horicon Day on Saturday Aug. 4, with far more children participating than in the prior two years of the festival, event organizers reported.
This may have been because of an expanded lineup of games and activities, Margaret Holmes and Matt Simpson said.
"Our new rock wall was going 'full bore' all day long with four solid hours of action," Simpson said. "There were more kids in the crowd, all day long, than last year."
Also, the new attraction of a dunking booth was popular, observers said. Citizens got to take a shot at Horicon Town Board members Bob Olson and Matt Simpson, as well as Zoning Administrator Gary McMeekin. A large number of North Warren students also volunteered to get plunged into the water — as a respite from the heat, Simpson said.
"It was great to get dunked," he said of his own refreshing forays into the water tank. "I enjoyed the day off from normal things."
Temperatures as high as 95 degrees may have shortened families' visits to Horicon Days — held at the town hall on Rte. 8 — but it certainly didn't stop people from attending, Simpson said.
He noted that Paul Holmes had seen the forecast Friday, and had hurried to construct a misting apparatus that would provide a fun cooling-off station for Horicon Days attendees. Children particularly enjoyed the station which sprayed people with a fine mist of water, he said.
A crowd of more than 70 people enjoyed the spaghetti-and-meatball dinner prepared and served by the employees of Tin Teepee Campground, Simpson said.
A large crowd gathered afterwards to hear the Steven L. Smith Band and watch the colorful fireworks display that followed, Simpson said. Brant Lake Taxi provided a shuttle for people who had to park in remote parking areas, Simpson added.

That was in the upper right hand corner for the pink mini Ipad case. Very obscene & offensive to write anything like that. I contacted Woot & have heard nothing back. I challenged them to make it right & donate a sizable donation to breast cancer research. Have not heard anything yet.
I'd like to apologize for the snippet and that it upset you. I can see where it would be considered insensitive, especially as we are in the middle of Breast Cancer Awareness month. I forwarded on your initial post yesterday and have done so again today. Again, please accept my apologies.

Moyo case draws to an end
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - Closing arguments and judgment in the case against alleged serial escapee Bongani Moyo are expected in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
At his last appearance in May, the court heard Moyo was not in the court's holding cells shortly before his escape from the building in August last year.
His two co-accused in a robbery case being heard in the same court, Khumbulani Sibanda and Thabani Sibanda, said they were put in a holding cell inside the court premises while Moyo was left sitting on a bench near the cell. He allegedly escaped by walking out of the court on crutches.
Moyo testified last month that he escaped because investigating officer Frederick Erasmus threatened to kill him. Erasmus denied Moyo's allegations.
Moyo, along with Khumbulani and a third person, face another charge of attempting to escape from the Pretoria Central prison earlier this year. The three used prison overalls to scale a perimeter wall. Their bid for freedom was botched when a street vendor spotted the trio jumping from the roof of the double-storey prison building. He alerted prison warders.
In March last year, Moyo escaped from the Boksburg prison where he was detained for bank robberies. He was recaptured at the Beitbridge border post almost three months later when he re-entered South Africa from Zimbabwe. - Sapa

Help! Names honouring beloved characters?
I have a really strong connection to certain characters, and would love to one day honour those characters in some way in my future children's names. However, most of the characters have pretty intense or even bizarre names, and I'm not sure how to go about it...
They are:
1. Dustfinger, from Cornelia Funke's Inkworld trilogy...
2. Enjolras, from Les Miserables (would consider this as a middle name, but could it possibly work as a first name???)
Any suggestions?Saoirse Foxglove Eponine Cecilia Muirenn Eidelweiss Yvaine Theodosia Snowdrop Aphrodite Gwenllian Rose Greer Belinda Roisin Antigone Snow White Fantine Edwina Judith Nightingale Isabeau Noor Poinsettia Sansa Loveday Winifred Bernadette Sybil Françoise
Jude Perrin Heathcliff Enjolras Griffin Alexandre Hugo Evelyn Meriadoc Horace Coinneach Aslan Silas Hadrian Ismaël Erwann Draco Renly Rowan Flick Diarmuid Paris Waldo Ludovic Cecil Peregrin Snapdragon Oswald Iver Campion

Oh Dustfinger is such a wonderful character! I'm not as much of a fan of Les Mis, so I'll let others discuss that one.
I'd go with some fire name, since he was a fire-dancer. A name that feels fiery, or means fire, flame, etc. Or, if you're nuts (adventurous?), put Dustfinger in the middle and call him Dusty. Or use Dustin, which is Dustfinger without the f-g-e-r. Perhaps Dustin middle name ends in -ger? Dustin Fire? You could also use Gwin, or Motley (as in Folk).Considering...

I remember Dustfinger! Wow, that was a while ago, hah.
I really like the suggestion of Dustin, honestly can't think of anything else for that at the moment.
Enjorlas is a great character! I'm still not done with the book, (I've heard soundtracks and seen the recent movie, though) but I hope he has a good part in it! There's a good chance that that isn't his actual name, Wikipedia doesn't say. I think it's totally usable as a first name, and is awesome.I'm not feeling incredibly profound at the moment. Check back later.

Easy recipe. I modified it and made dhoklas right after grinding the dal. Only added soda, did not add baking powder. You can also add spinach or cilantro in place of methi or add all 3 greens to make it more healthy.

James Watt's steam engine produced a continuous rotative motion, but nearly 100 years earlier, Thomas Savery was tinkering with steam. Savery's engine had no moving parts except the taps, but used heat and pressure to move water, primarily to drain water from mines. It didn't work very well, but it was the first.

.- The president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, Archbishop Philip Wilson, says its not too late for Amnesty International to reverse its new policy promoting access to abortion.
Archbishop Wilson said Amnesty's shift away from a neutral stance on abortion is deeply regrettable.
"Catholic people have had a long association with Amnesty International, going right back to its inception and the two bodies have been closely aligned in their commitment to social justice," he said.
But Amnesty's new position on access to abortion is "at odds with the Catholic understanding of the dignity of the human person and sexuality," he said.
"In adopting this position, Amnesty has moved to a concept of human rights founded not upon the good of the human person, but simply upon the autonomy of the individual.
He noted that some Catholic school groups have withdrawn from membership of Amnesty as a result.
Archbishop Wilson said he had written two letters on behalf Australia's Catholic bishops during the past year, urging Amnesty International to abandon the policy change.
"It is not too late for Amnesty International to take stock of the damage being caused by this change of policy and to return to its former neutral stance on abortion," he said. "I would urge them to do so."

Right now garage & rummage sales are around every bend
along with estate sales! I don't always have time to go to these
because I am typically at market on Saturdays and by the time we
are on the way home, the last thing I feel like doing is
'saleing'. Thrift shopping is another story though... I know I
will find just about whatever I want at the ones we drive past in
the city on our way home. But good garden junque is not so easy
to find this way. Antique shoppes, flea markets and sales are
better shopping opportunity for this kind of stuff. I love to add
elements into my beds that give a feeling of invitation... cool
old chairs, stools and benches say 'come on in for a stay!', tin
pails and buckets add height and dimension in the flower beds;
ladders and bird cages can be incorporated as well! I love to get
lost in my flower beds and just relax... weed, water and rest...
gardening, what could anyone want more? [Read More]

The Singapore Life Church on Prinsep Street has one of the longest histories of any Presbyterian Church in Singapore and with a growing congregation, the Church turned to local design studio LAUD Architects for an impressive new worship space.
Due to massive underground construction work nearby, the former church building had structural problems resulting in visible cracks on the walls. Moreover, with a large open-air surface car park up front, the land was not being fully utilised.
Formerly housed in a 1970s modernist building, the Singapore Life Church is now housed in a monochromatic reinforced concrete structure with a white aluminium filigree façade.
Perforations across the façade take a triangulated shape in reference to the Mandarin for 'people' (Λ). At night, the Church is illuminated from within and shafts of light are emitted through these small breaks in the façade and a glass expanse in the centre, welcoming the congregation to worship.
The 7-storey volume is arranged as a 3-storey podium topped with a 4-storey tower block above. A car park is located on the first floor, enclosed within aluminium T-profiled louvres, screening the activity within and providing 'uplift' to the floors above.
Internally the building offers two key volumes and a number of breakout spaces such as prayer rooms and communal gathering areas. There is a Main Sanctuary and a smaller chapel. Reinforced concrete structures were used during construction with post-tensioned beams to create column-free spaces within.
LAUD Architects explains in a design statement: "The church's vision was to have a new building with a larger sanctuary, more space to meet their growing needs and to have an iconic building their members could all be proud of."
